Does anyone know of a website with large-scale (i.e. mulitiple volumes)
translations or novelizations of the original Ranma 1/2 manga?

Try the West of Tokyo Club site (can't remember the addy but search
for that name and you'll find them).  They're a UK site.

I'm told by many people that the Viz translations of either the anime or
manga resemble the original material about as much as Godzilla resembles
you average Smurf.

Well, that's perhaps overstating the case, but if you have volume
1 of the Viz manga, try reading this while comparing it to the
chapter, "You'll Understand Soon" (or whatever Viz called it):

The story there is really only the started stub of a new story
I'm writing, and it's mostly a novelization of that chapter of
the manga based on my own translation.
